    I use this model and like it very much. It really gets rid of the need for compressed air in most situations. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KLQ4GKV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    This. I had some fujipoly 17W/mK pads I used before and they are very hard with low compression. While I am sure they do actually transfer heat better than lower end pads, the problem is you have zero margin of error and can compromise the pairing pressure if off at all. In laptops where pairing pressure is vital, that can be the difference between 5-15c (or more if that bad). I prefer lesser rated pads with more squish because you have low to no pairing compromises for the GPU or CPU. I just use thermaltake 12.8W/mK pads that seem to be sold under all types of names and they work just fine and give me the squish I need.

    Just wish Dsanke made a version for the KM or Prema made a basic unlocked version. Having used my Prema equipped SM for awhile, when I had a KM the lockdown was harsh on all fronts from CPU to memory tuning.

    To give you an idea, I repasted the IdeaPad 3i in my sig because even with an i5-1235u it was thermally throttling. It went from hitting 96c to topping out at 84c. I repasted with Kingpin as the heatsink had a good fit. I repasted the Nitro 5 in my sig because the GPU was hitting 80+ and CPU was hitting 90+. I repasted with nanogrease extreme because the pairing was a bit off and temps were higher with Kingpin. Repasting with nanogrease lowered temps by ~10c across the board. Same for the X170SM-G because the pairing pressure is very sensitive so I went with nanogrease for best temps. It went from thermal throttling to sitting in the 80s for CPU and 60's for GPU. With this GL66, thermal throttling CPU and 80's for the GPU so we'll see where this goes but I can almost guarantee temps will plummet.

    Depending on pairing pressure, I'd give nanogrease extreme a try. Good fit, I'd go with Kingpin or Kryo Extreme. I've yet to encounter a laptop that hasn't benefited from a proper clean install and a repasting. I'm getting ready to crack open the GL66 Pulse in my sig this afternoon and repaste and double check because it is overheating even running single thread.

    You definitely want to keep a laptop to go along with the desktop (Look at my army of laptops in the sig). What model of laptop do you use now?
  7. electrosoft
    True, in the end no laptop will compete to desktop build outs especially with the ever widening cap between power draw and the 4000 / 7000 series on the horizon. This next generation of CPUs and especially GPUs is going to widen that gap even more. Depending on power efficiency mobile AMD may end up being the king for the next generation but we will see. At this stage of the game, I'd wait for next gen across the board before building out anything with new architectures, DDR5 continuing to mature and new PSU standards.

    Sometimes a good deal slips through the cracks and you're able to have good timing. I love it when that happens. Hopefully it gives you better results in the stock range to eeek out a little more performance. Did you ever pick up an Asus motherboard to qualify chips on the desktop for comparison?

    I picked up Fallout 76 deluxe for $15 with the sale price as one of my buds and his wife play pretty religiously so I figured it would be something new to try while I wait for Dragonflight.

    I was wondering this just yesterday since reading @Falkentyne's excellent post over on the ocn forums using one of these. It seems like a win win in any scenario. This would especially apply to you @jaybee83 since you've already had the motherboard out numerous times. Check to see if you have enough room and give it a whirl!

    True and I didn't have too many problems with the FTW3 3090ti I had for about a week. Boosted to 2070 gaming and temps never went over 65c. Definitely not quiet though. Uplift was there just not enough to justify the $2k+tax price tag vs my 3080. I'm keeping an eye out on prices and ebay though as they continue to tumble. Problem with the KPE 3090ti is price, no block (for those who wc) and 4000 series right around the corner but the upside is a very limited run (if that's your thing), One of the if not only cards designed with dual power connectors and 100% MLCC poscap design but I can't see it outpacing what is now a $1650 FTW3 3090ti that much in performance (well $1850 w/ PSU). I do wish they had offered it with a T2 instead of P2 at that price. I fully expect the 4090 to smash the 3090ti by at least 30% if not more.

    Nice! Hopefully it will extend your X15 even further! If it is the one I think I saw it is already delidded too right? Knock out two birds with one stone (Delidded and binned).
  14. electrosoft
    True, if I find a KPE around 1100 I might have to (re) pick one up again. All the cards that passed my way during the Pandemic and Mining craze the KPE 3090 was easily my favorite. KPE 3090ti is truly a limited run so it transcends normal 3090ti parameters and falling prices but $2500+tax is a tough pill to swallow. I picked up a 3090ti FTW3 but ended up returning it after a week as it just didn't bring the value for the $2k+ it cost IMHO but a $1200 3090ti FTW3 is a different story.
  15. electrosoft
    Nice! Are you posting your progress and outlier work on this one somewhere in the forums?
  16. electrosoft
    $2499.99 + tax. Almost 2x the cost of used KPE 3090's on ebay (and falling)....yikes.
  17. electrosoft
    KPE 3090ti's are dropping first wave to queue members and auto-notify is gone so Jacob was right when he said limited. $2499.99 w/ 1600 PSU no exceptions. It's a bundle deal. If you didn't queue up you're SOL (if you wanted one). https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-4998-KT

    Speedy recovery brother! 🙏
  19. electrosoft
    Nice! And most definitely. See where it lands you at -0.050 - 0.100 uv pull and temps to get an idea of draw and bleed. Also see how it compares versus your current 10900k. I haven't had a chance to really do much of anything with my X170SM-G in weeks with so many other projects on the table I've been churning through (and work). If you have access to a Z490/Z590 motherboard, you can also use my desktop binning chart from five samples I posted earlier:

    I was just thinking about him and his crocs wondering where he went. Good to know he is absent for a good reason!

    EVGA finally feeling the overstock glut and having barn burner prices on EVERYTHING (right now elite members only for a few days then everybody). Even their 1600w T2 is under $200 brand new for this sale.
  22. electrosoft
    Good price for a new 12900ks and that P-99 = ~P107-109 on a 12900k. The SP94 12900ks I had was rated exactly the same as my SP91 (P102) yet it was clearly superior both in IMC and pull/clocks but both hit a wall on my LF II 420 at 5.4 all core.
  23. electrosoft
    As long as it was sealed and no air leaked in consistently it should be ok. If it appears excessively runny and grainy it may have degraded as I had that happen with an older tube of CLU a few years ago and the results were subpar. I ended up getting a fresh tube of silver king lm and it was night and day.
  24. electrosoft
    Now we're talking! (Heath ledger Joker voice 😁) That CPU is pure garbage. For joe average it will do just fine though. It also shows why 11th and especially 12th priorities for many have shifted to fishing for superior IMCs and ring fixed around 5.2 all core and go from there. Just noticed you picked up a 12900ks, nice. new or used? What SP? P/E?
  25. electrosoft
    I was 99.99% sure you ran the tables checking everything possible but I've found myself in the past and present letting Asus work its magic to get sticks to suddenly work but with the most horrific latency just to make sure it was possible before returning to manually dialing them in. Yep, booting G1 4200. That's so odd it will only boot G2 for 4000. Where does the system tap out for G1? 3600? The 1504 update did improve stability and compatibility for the sticks I bought from you (those are the ones I ran 4200 G1) but some may still be problematic. What kit is it? I think you'll get clarity as you mentioned before when you plug in your better binned 12900k. You will quickly find out if it is the motherboard or cpu.
